Here are some other launch opportunities in our area:

ICBM & ROSCO, better known as Rocketry South Carolina, flies near Dalzelle, SC., Just NE of Shaw AFB.  More information can be gotten at their site HERE

The Saturn Rocketry Club in Hendersonville is currently switching their launch field. As soon as we know where they land we will post it. Their FB site is HERE

The infrared spectroscopic signature of "Buckyballs," 60-carbon-atom molecules, have been identified in a planetary nebula.  

Huge Space Molecules Found!

Although not quite as big as soccer balls, they do resemble them with their spherical shape structured of hexagons and pentagons. They are the largest molecules ever found in space. They are "Buckyballs," found in the infrared spectral signature detected by the Spitzer Space Telescope in a neighboring galaxy.
